Customer Reviews & Comments
I can't believe this book was overlooked by the bike nazi digerati. I've looked at other bike repair manuals -shiny & glossy and vastly overpriced- and all things considered, Todd Downs $14.00, 378 pg repair advice gets the job done. Go ahead and pay thirty bucks and upwards for glitz but I'll stick with what I've got. Can't go wrong with this book in terms of tools, illustrations and coherence. No complaints.
